"Kearney is one of the most exciting thinkers in the
English-speaking world of continental philosophy.... and he] joins
hands with its fundamental project, asking the question what'or
who'comes after the God of metaphysics? " John D. Caputo
Engaging some of the most urgent issues in the philosophy of
religion today, in this lively book Richard Kearney proposes that
instead of thinking of God as 'actual, ' God might best be thought
of as the possibility of the impossible. By pulling away from
biblical perceptions of God and breaking with dominant theological
traditions, Kearney draws on the work of Ricoeur, Levinas, Derrida,
Heidegger, and others to provide a surprising and original answer
to who or what God might be. For Kearney, the intersecting
dimensions of impossibility propel religious experience and faith
in new directions, notably toward views of God that are
unforeseeable, unprogrammable, and uncertain. Important themes such
as the phenomenology of the persona, the meaning of the unity of
God, God and desire, notions of existence and differance, and faith
in philosophy are taken up in this penetrating and original
work.
Richard Kearney is Professor of Philosophy at Boston College and
University College, Dublin. He is author of many books on modern
philosophy and culture, including Dialogues with Contemporary
Continental Thinkers, The Wake of Imagination, and The Poetics of
Modernity."
